Tom was very bright....... bright enough not to let on and have everyone know exactly how smart he really was; he also works really hard to con his Sunday School class out of their tickets, and he succeeds at that too. He gets enough tickets for the Bible by trading all of the things he got by "letting" his friends whitewash the fence for him.
